Just been reading that Linn is accepting orders for the new Majik LP12 which will sell for $3750US including power supply, arm and cartridge(no dust cover). Since the dustcover is $240 and hinges are $40 you can complete it for about $4000US.

This turntable will use the standard LP12 mechanical parts so it is fully upgradeable to the highest levels of performance. It will come with a new power supply that will sell separately for $580. There is a new arm as part of the package but there are no additional details on the arm, cartridge or power supply available yet.

What HiFi wrote:Thirty-five years after the launch of the Sondek LP12, Linn has released an all-new tribute of sorts, the Majik LP12.

Based on the original, benchmark-setting Sondek, the Majik version adds a new Linn power supply, a solid base board, an Adikt MM cartridge and a Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm.

The stylishly understated LP12 looks set to sell for around £2000.

Naturally enough, Linn is keen to stress that all parts of the new deck have been designed and built with untold care and precision. The solid base delivers the necessary platform for high quality audio, the sub-chassis having been machine-pressed to provide a strong, consistent foundation.

The LP12 has a thick, flat Neoprene belt for higher friction, while the inner and outer platters are machined to the tolerance – again to ensure consistency, here that means in terms of keeping speed. A single-piece carbon-fibre formed armtube and headshell do the more visible work of taking the audio from the vinyl.

Housed in a solid, kiln-dried wood plinth, and upgradeable with any Linn turntable accessory, the Majik12 is available in five different finishes. It's out now.
